Is Islam a happy religion?  Are Arabs and Muslims one and the same?  Are Muslim women more oppressed than women in other religions?  Are Islam and terrorism closely linked?  What does the term Jihad mean?

Hussein Rashid, an associate editor at Religion Dispatches, attempts to dispel the misconceptions that surround these questions.  You can find a series of video clips about different aspects of Islam here at the Odyssey Network.
